James Manderino Hate Speech

[dripcurl]

James Manderino’s posts are getting more and more hateful. He is very passionate about having a godly government and takes the bible extremely literally. I personally think he likes to push buttons, but either way this man needs to be held accountable. There is definitely no arguing whether or not to report that last post.

The ones based on women are particularly awful when you remember he has two young daughters. Not to say that the others are any less awful, though.

It occurred to me yesterday in regards to Mandarino, that being  an anti abortion, toxic masculinity,  alt right fundamentalist is just a "get out of jail free card" to cloak the fact that he's be an asshole.

Isn't this dude one of those doomsday preppers?

He chose this lifestyle as an adult. He wasn’t raised in this. That tells you something. His father died a year or two ago. He was divorced from his mom and remarried. His father was quite an outspoken democrat on FB. He posted stuff that was basically the opposite of fundie fake Jewish like James. When James first got together with Hannah, someone looked him up online. Not long before he met Hannah online, he had lost a small election. I forget what he was running for. But some speculated that the loss inspired this huge change in religion and made him moves states away to date a girl he had only met online. The crazy part is that Hannah seems like a very opinionated strong willed person. James seems the same. What happens when these two disagree? My guess is that James gets the final say because he has a penis but Hannah probably doesn’t like it. I bet there’s resentment in that house.

That was me! Here's the article: https://archive.triblive.com/local/westmoreland/grandson-of-late-lawmaker-manderino-to-run-in-pennsylvanias-58th-district/

It was a state house seat that his grandfather had previously held. At the time of the election he was working in administration for a homeless shelter operated by a mainstream-sounding church and had returned from a tour in Afghanistan only a few years earlier. I'm sure he imagined that he had that seat totally in the bag-- family name, veteran, community service. I recall when looking him up I saw some facebook posts from other candidates/staffers in the race who thought he was arrogant and immature and didn't expect to have to do any real work at campaigning. In my experience it's a little unusual for politicos to make those kinds of remarks publicly so he must have already been a real asshole.

Yes, running as a Democrat! Lolololol. And now he seems to despise them. Probably because he lost that election. Just like a 5 year old boy. He got mad he lost and went completely opposite of his beliefs. I’ll show them! Lol, ok James. When his marriage to Hannah implodes, maybe he will become a communist.

Oh , he didn't lose , he dropped out of the race .

“I have come to the point where I have realized that I will hate this job and I do not believe that will do our district very much good. It’s just not for me,” Manderino wrote.

I’m sure he dropped out because he knew he would be beat. 

He said stuff like this 4 years ago and now he’s a trump humper:

In that statement, he's not completely wrong about the fundamental nature of politics. 

I do find his pivot from decency to utter whack a doo interesting. 

While doing admin at a big state university, I worked in a department with a brilliant professor who (according to the grad students) had previously been a hard core "for the workers" marxist type guy.  At the time I met him, he was profoundly deep into some type of extreme Christianity. I just looked him up.  His areas of expertise are natural law and he writes extensively about Thomas Aquinas; likely Catholic.

I believe that this stems from leaving a cult , in this case a political cult , but still retaining the same dogmatic , doctrinaire , cult mindset .  Speaking as someone who grew up in a fundamentalist upbringing , outright cultist or not , I can tell you that , throughout my life ,  I have found that I have been having a tendency towards hard-line , hardcore extremes in my viewpoints , rather religious , or political .  And I have gone through various phases , in the evolution of my worldview , in regards to both aspects .  So much in fact that even I have trouble keeping track of my various incarnations .  I think that in hindsight the life lesson I have learned from this experience is to express , and pursue interest in a way of thinking , without being so quick to identify with that particular system of thought .  Take time to gain perspective , and familiarity with all the aspects of an ideology , before fully committing to it  , so as to know what all you might be getting yourself into .  But yeah , you might see someone from a far-left atheist background become a religious right conservative , and vice versa .  I have known of numerous examples of this .

It’s just crazy because he is a vocal trump supporter. Trump is basically the epitome of all the worst things about politics. Yet he still supports him. How could someone make such a huge change in everything from location, political beliefs, and religious beliefs? 

[JermajestyDuggar]

I guess I just have a hard time understanding because I’ve gone through major religious changes in my life and it was so.damn.slow. It honestly took years for me to go from Christian to agnostic. Most of the people I know who went through religious changes would also say the process was slow.

I’m reminded of Stephen Hammer, who was raised Unitarian Universalist, but who became a conservative Presbyterian, joined the military, sought out a fundie farm maiden via her blog, and went to Harvard Law School. He’s obviously gearing up for a career in conservative politics. (One of us here knew him from his college days and said he was kind of a dick.)

@Marmion, sure is!

[JermajestyDuggar]

I think James’ feelings were hurt by a woman or two and now he gets to feel like a big man thanks to patriarchy. He’s such a pathetic character.

So did you report it? Results? Honestly, it doesn't seem like anything bannable to me. Ignorant and taking the "fetuses are PEOPLE TOO" logic to the extreme but breaking any rules? I don't know what social media platform you got these from but Facebook is pretty limited in what they ban.

Full disclosure, I haven't had a Facebook account for like 2 years so maybe it's not as I remember it.

He understands old western movies aren’t documentaries, right?

Oh, FFS James.  There's a reason that shit (bare knuckled fighting) fell out of favor.  It was stupid , dangerous and had a lot to do with bullying and dominance contests. 

 In my opinion it now manifests as sports contests, either as a participant or an onlooker with a vested interest.  Join a damn baseball team or learn to play rugby. 

Also, wrestling is a recognized Interscholastic League sport.

Why do I have a feeling James would pick fights with men half his size?

[Red Hair, Black Dress]

What is James taking about with this  "honor system allowing men to strive with one another" 

Strive???  Strive!!??  Does he mean "strife" as in disagree?  Even then it makes no sense.

Basically he want to return to the days when men would step outside and settle things "man to man" with their fists. Somehow I can't see James in a fight with anyone. He's all talk. Big brave man with tough words behind the protection of the internet. Big tough guy with fundie women who have to put up and shut up.

Mano a mano in person -- never gonna happen. James is more of an egg others on guy -- "let's you and him fight."

He's referring to the " culture of honor " .  {  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_honor_(Southern_United_States) , 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour#Cultures_of_honour_and_cultures_of_law , https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470490500300126 }  If you've ever seen the musical " Hamilton " , you'll know what I mean .  

Spoiler

 

But I think that such a notion of " honor "  has largely fallen out of favor , especially after it was used as a pretext to assault  U.S. Senator Charles Sumner .  

Spoiler

 

( trigger warning graffic content )    ,  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_of_Charles_Sumner   But this example of what I would view as being toxic masculinity still lingers on , especially among Southern Christian fundamentalists , as justification for responding to perceived insult , and insolence , with violence ; such as with regard to the spanking of children .  

[Hane]

@Red Hair, Black Dress, he’s using the verb “strive” in an antiquated sense that means “struggle/fight against.” No—his fancy-schmancy old-timey language doesn’t impress me, either.

[JermajestyDuggar]

His level of stupidity seems to have no limit.
